• There is no reliable information about the name of the city.
Tatar legends associate it with the word "Tumen", which means"
ten thousand","ten thousand troops". It is believed that the
Russian city took the name of old Chimgi-Tura, which came from
the Ugric "chemgen" and meant "city on the way". In the past, it
was also believed that the name of the city consists of two
Turkic words " tyu "(belonging) and "myana" (property) — my
property. In the modern language of the Tyumen Tatars, the
word "Tyumen" means "lowland", "low place". There are other
opinions[5].
